The first full-length unit we will explore in seventh-grade language arts will be creative writing...with a suspenseful, thrilling, and spooky twist!
We will be learning the various elements of plot and applying this knowledge to our very own short story. These stories will focus on elements of mystery and suspense. We will discuss how "spookiness" can be created without blood and gore!
The students will be aspiring authors who are seeking publication of their wonderful short stories! This will entail generating a plot for a story and working on some of the details to entice readers to want to read more. I look forward to seeing the creativity flow as the students demonstrate their ability to incorporate new skills.
